About the Company

The Shakespeare Festival, which takes place annually in the early summer, is organised by artistic director Dr. Rainer Wiertz and head of production Andreas Giesen. Fans of Shakespeare's dramatic, turbulent, witty plays make the journey to the Rhine from all over Germany and are inspired by the atmosphere. Theatre companies from all four corners of the world contribute to this festival, bringing international flair to Neuss for four weeks of the year in June and July.
